Yes - was planning to make a thread myself at some point as I need to get some feedback on sleep strategy etc etc., and just found this thread when I went into the search function to find what I’d posted about before. If you don’t mind I’d put my Qs in this thread rather than making another on LEL?
Wasn’t expecting to get in myself, so it was a bit of a surprise! I’m 33 though so a little different to being 78, that’s incredible. Have you done stuff like this before?
There’s a guy on here who was part of the organising committee at one point, @GoLongThenGoHome , who gave me some tips on the linked thread and is also riding this year: Ultra-Endurance MTB on mid-volume - #11 by PhilW
So far I have done a few 100ks (inc one on MTB which is probably worth a bit more to be fair, took 7 hours…), but I have gone and got COVID so I am losing the first week of this block (hopefully be OK again next week, it’s just been a cold for me). Booked in for a 600k Audax start of July as a warmup.
